I have a ebuild for WICD, taken from bugzilla i don't know hot to install it. man portage says emerge /path/to/ebuild is depracated. I have to make my own overlay to put there custom ebuild? which is the better way to install local ebuild's?


Cheers!

Set PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf to, say, /usr/portage/local then
mkdir -p /usr/portage/local/net-misc/wicd, copy the ebuild to that
directory then do
ebuild /usr/portage/local/net-misc/wicd/wicd-1.3.8-r1.ebuild manifest
and emerge it in the usual way.

If God had intended Man to program, we'd be born with serial I/O ports.

Thanks both! : )
